RAISE Family Caregiving Advisory Council’s report
|
“About 1 in 7 of us is serving as a family caregiver at
any given time, and more than two-thirds of us can expect to need
assistance with some tasks as we age.” – Alison Barkoff, Acting Administrator, Administration
for Community Living, RAISE
Family Caregivers Act Initial Report to Congress
|
The Recognize, Assist, Include, Support, & Engage
(RAISE) Family Caregiving Advisory Council’s goal is to evaluate and document
the experiences and unmet needs of family caregivers. Their September
2021 Report
to Congress (PDF, 2.87 MB, 148 pp) provides extensive recommendations
to better support family caregivers within 5 priority areas:
- Awareness of family
caregiving
- Integration into
processes and systems from which caregivers have been traditionally
excluded
- Access to services and
supports to assist caregivers
- Financial and workplace
protections for caregivers
- Better, more consistent
research and data collection to facilitate the development and
dissemination of policies and interventions to help caregivers
